      It’s easy to shit on West Virginia now, but at least they were formed by splitting from Virginia in favor of abolishing slavery. That’s pretty cool in my book.

      You mean the birthplace of the labor movement where the US government used artillery on stinking miners?

      The current government sucks, but the history has some truly glorious and revolutionary moments.
